    We tried three dishes and enjoyed all of them. Wild Mushrooms Conserva was a very small portion appetizer but it has a nice variety of mushrooms marinated in a well-seasoned spicy oil. Yunnan Signature Fried Tofu was excellent. Crispy on the outside, yet tender and juicy on the inside. Their house-made pepper salt paired well with the tofu. Very small portion too. Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice with the homemade laksa sauce, we asked for extra laksa sauce and used it as a dipping sauce for the fried tofu. The service was great throughout the meal. The staff was friendly, attentive, and welcoming. We also loved their takeout containers. Overall, good food, great service, Will definitely come back to try other menu items

    Very nice spot. This spot specializes in mushroom dishes from some region in China. To be fair, it's not my favorite cuisine from within China, but I found the food to be very solid still. The truffle mushroom rice was great. The fried tofu too. I think one of the dishes was something akin to twice cooked pork with mushrooms, was also great.

    Fried chicken with tom yum sauce
    Harmanjeet K.

    Jun Bistro had been on my list so my husband and I decided to dine there last night. We ordered: Chicken noodle soup Dai style seafood 2 sugar cane juices, one with ice and one without ice Chilli honey chicken with potatoes Laksa shrimp fried rice Fried chicken with tom yum sauce We loved the sugar cane juices. The one without ice still came cold and was about $2.50 more in price. Both tasted similar and the one with ice wasn't diluted at all. Both were refreshing and we loved the flavor. It was very authentic and refreshing. Chicken noodle soup was amazing! I don't know about the 8 hour boiled chicken since it tasted like chicken breast broth and not bone broth but it was super delicious. The noodles were slimy and it was very comforting. No chili oil was provided on the table. The server spilled some broth on our table while carrying a hot bowl of soup. I recommend asking the servers to use a serving plate to bring over food to the customer's table. Spicy chicken with honey and potatoes- We've tried this dish at many different restaurants, mostly without potato chips and we didn't like it here. Some pieces of chicken were bland and others absorbed most flavors. The honey did not help the dish at all. There was no balance of flavors. I did not like the addition of packaged wavy potato chips into the dish. Dai style seafood- This dish was very disappointing. It was served cold which was the highlight of the dish but nothing tasted fresh. This dish took the most time to come out. The dressing tasted well made, it was sweet and savory but the seafood hadn't absorbed the dressing. There were mussels, clams, squid and calamari in it and the balance of flavors was out of proportion. Laksa shrimp fried rice- Good wok hey, chewy mushroom bits and little pineapple bits but shrimp was very hard to find. The addition of egg was nice. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce- Nicely fried very tiny pieces of chicken with 1 tsp of tangy sauce. Good dish. Nothing extraordinary. I would come back for the chicken noodle soup on a cold night!

    I've enjoyed every dish I've tried here so far. My particular favorite is the cheung fun. Other dishes I've tried and liked: yunnan chicken with potato chips (spicy!) and the beef noodle soup. Great ambiance and chill staff.

    The food here is so amazing! We had silkworms, aorta wok, and laksa shrimp fried rice. But the highlight of our meal was the freshly squeezed sugarcane juice. Loved the unique menu and would love to go again. Service was quick too, and lovely decor. But the place is a bit smallish.

    An absolute delight and a great choice if you're a mushroom fan! This place has been on my queue for a while to try out, and it really hit the spot. I came here on a Friday evening with my friend to grab dinner around 6:00 PM. The wait was around an hour, so be very prepared if you're coming during the dinner rush. This spot is located where the majority of the Asian restaurants are in Milpitas, so it's safe to say the parking can get a bit hectic and intense. The interior of the place is very bright, modern, and clean. There is a lot of seating for a small space, but the reason they are so busy has a lot to do with the number of people wanting to check this spot out. When you sit down, you scan their virtual menu via QR code and order there instead of through a server. You have the choice to order on one phone as a group or separately. Between my friend and me, we ordered a beef mint salad, fried tofu, confit mushrooms, and truffle mushroom rice. I will say that when we first got the fried tofu and confit mushrooms, we were quite surprised by the small portions compared to the price. That said, they were delicious, but skippable if you're trying to find the best bang for your buck. What I absolutely would recommend is their truffle mushroom fried rice. This might have been my best bite this month. It was so savory, the mushrooms hit perfectly, and the coating of butter on the rice was supreme. It was $28 for a bowl, but it was a good value to split between two people. Overall, this place had great, fast service (our food came out in under 10 minutes), a nice ambiance, and fresh, flavorful food.

    Jun Bistro has been around for a while. I don't understand the hype that was shown via Instagram or other social media influencers. Portions are small and the food itself is subpar. Overall, the menu is expensive for the quality and in comparison to other restaurants. Photos of dishes make the entrees look larger than they actually are. The tableware is smaller than normal dishware. Fantuan has everything 40% off price wise and some items free, leading me to question why anyone bothers to dine in store. The wait was short, but the tables are arranged to be close to each other. The wait for the food was long in between dishes. We ordered a mix of items: 云南包浆豆腐 Yunnan Signature Fried Tofu had pillowy fried tofu. The sauce was in a super tiny sauce cup about the size of a small jar cap. Sad to say this was the only good dish. 叻沙菠萝菌菇虾炒饭 Laksa Shrimp Fried Rice had overcooked rice, undercooked pineapple, and an overcooked egg on top. 油浸菌子 Wild Mushrooms Conserva is a mix of mushrooms served in a palm sized dish. It is drowned in sesame oil and chili oil, making it an overly oily bowl of tough to chew mushrooms. 师大附中门口的大酥牛肉米线 Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle was a watered down version of bun bo hue that was more watery then tomato flavored. Noodles itself were fine. Tomatoes were diced into such small pieces fit to be served to a child. Service was more attentive towards bigger parties. Our empty bowls were left on the table for a while which made navigating the meal difficult. Won't be coming back here. Maybe I'll order off of Fantuan if I want to try it again.

    Update that our favorite items are the truffle mushroom fried rice, roasted eggplant, shrimp laksa fried rice, and rice rolls! The rice portions are pretty large although I found the portion sizes for other items on the smaller side.

    Wait for dinner on a weekday holiday was about 10 minutes. Ordering is done through QR code on the table. The truffle and mushroom rice tastes incredible! The Chinese sausage pieces sprinkled throughout added extra flavor too. The bowl is deep so there seemed to be roughly 5 cups of rice. Unfortunately the laksa shrimp fried rice was disappointing in comparison. It didn't have much flavor overall - better than plain rice but definitely needed more seasoning. The menu lists homemade laksa sauce as an ingredient but we didn't taste that, and the dish wasn't spicy at all either despite the 1 chili pepper rating. But it looked just like the menu picture so maybe the description is wrong. Fried chicken with tom yum sauce came with 6 pieces. Very juicy. We also enjoyed the herbal roasted prime steak with sausage rice. The delicious rice had the taste of fish sauce. Most of the short rib slices were soft and a few were slightly chewy but overall decent quality. Some of the fattier pieces of meat were still attached to the bone.

    Tried this place out for weekend lunch and got their truffle and mushroom rice which seemed like their main dish, along with the fried tofu and stir-fried cheung fun. Each dish was pretty good and had "very strong flavors", to the point that I wish I had a balance dish like plain rice to go along with in order to eat more, but individually speaking each dish is layered very well in flavor and worth trying out. Ambiance is nice inside, service was bare minimum - I don't mind but you may need to flag a waiter several times to get their attention. Place was full and had a wait list for seating 10-30 mins or so on a weekend noontime.

    Overall we had a very positive experience for a Friday dinner. The entire restaurant was full by the time we arrived at 5:45PM so I would say you need to go when they open. Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle Stir- fry pea sprouts Lemongrass pot chicken Banana Leaf wrapped seabass Dessert Youtiao dough bread pudding Dinosaur Cutie Taiwan Bun (Passionfruit and taro flavor) The most impressive dish is the Truffle & Mushroom Butter Rice. I want to come back for lunch so I can get their Yunnan Rose Coffee or Tea Latte. It says on the menu that their coffee beans and tea leaves are from pristine mountains of Yunnan. They do serve coffee for dinner time but I can't take the caffeine at night. The service is above average for a chinese restaurant. The waiter was pretty patience with us as we brought an elderly guest with us at the table so we took a little longer to enjoy our meal. The interior design of the restaurant is pretty interesting where the booth is align an triangular shape with a center piece so the tables can be put together for larger parties very easily. Definitely easier to get a table for parties of 4 or less but it will work out for larger parties as well.

    I just checked out this Yunnan-inspired California bistro, which specializes in Yunnan-Guizhou cuisine. The character Jun means "mushroom" in Chinese. I'm a big fan of mushrooms, and I loved the umami flavors they created in each dish. I tried a few of their new and signature dishes, and my favorites were the fried tofu (crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, plus perfectly seasoned), the truffle mushroom rice (I really enjoyed the depth of flavor), and the fire-roasted eggplant with rice crackers (I loved the different layers of texture and flavor). Their drinks were also delicious, and the staff were kind and friendly!

    Went to Jun Bistro for an early Friday dinner at 5:30. Good thing as we grabbed one of the last open tables. There was a wait for most of the customers after us. Parking gets a little crazy in Milpitas Square, so that's another reason to go early. First thing we notice as we sit down is a giant map of China on the wall and regionality of certain mushrooms. We were destined to have at least some mushrooms. The other thing we noticed was some of the very unique dishes on the menu like silkworm pupae and steamed stinky tofu! The food: Truffle and Mushroom Butter Rice - a blend of many different mushrooms on rice. The truffle flavor is very pronounced. This was so good, I tried to mimic the recipe at home. Qianshan Chili Fragrant Frog - I love the salty spicy flavor of this dish. I've had frog a few times, but never crispy like they have it in this entree. Lemongrass Pot Chicken - chicken and potatoes with a good amount of lemongrass flavor. Hits the spot and is very comforting. Braised Angus Beef Rice Noodle - large tender pieces of beef in a meaty broth Chicken Liver Pate with Chinese Donut - it tastes exactly like how it sounds. Wouldn't say it's a great match, but hard to go wrong with two ingredients that are very good by themselves. Steamed Stinky Tofu - the texture of this dish was like previously fried tofu that was steamed. It was ok, but I vastly prefer the fried version. Jun Bistro was packed for a reason - interesting dishes, bursting with flavor. Makes us want to come back and try other things on the menu.

It's a good thing we did because the restaurant filled up completely 5 minutes after ordering. The inside of the restaurant is clean and modern, they have some art up on the wall that was cool to look at. The food was definitely the star though. We tried the BBQ pork and shrimp noodle rolls. Both were really good but my favorite was still the shrimp. I loved the veggies in the roll too. They can be a bit hard to pick up and eat because they're massive and cut into thirds. Other than that, the rice noodles are thin and silky and hold the sauce nicely. The sauce is also delicious. We also ordered the fish congee which was simple but comforting. It comes out PIPING hot so don't burn your tongue. Fish was tender and flavorful. Overall no complaints and the service was quick. Highly recommend!

    My wife and I were looking for a place to grab some food to share with our family we were visiting!…read moreWe came across this place online and we were very happy with our decision. We ordered the Mongolian Beef and a plate of tofu and all of it was delicious! The Mongolian beef was a little more spicy than we anticipated but thats okay, it still tasted great. The tofu was eaten up in an instant. Our order was take out and the person taking our order over the phone was fast but friendly. When we got to the restaurant, two of the three dishes we ordered were ready to go! Inside, couples, friends and passers by were enjoying their meals and time together.

This time, I ordered the stinky tofu. Honestly, you can probably pass on this one. The price doesn't really match the taste or quality, so I wouldn't recommend it. I also ordered the eggplant and tofu clay pot. It was pretty ordinary, but the one advantage is that I ordered it through Panda Food Delivery, and it cost less than $10, so at that price, I can't really complain. I also tried the stir-fried snail meat with pickled long beans. I'm not quite sure how to rate this one. The flavor itself was actually pretty good, but it didn't really taste like what I expected from pickled long beans. They also have two dishes made with pickled long beans--the pickled long bean soup noodles and the stir-fried noodles. Both were just average to me. Overall, my recommendation would be: try it once if you're curious, but I don't think it's worth a second visit.
